Full-day Kindergarten

Academic screening is done on each student during the first week of school to determine which students would benefit most from this program. Those students then receive an invitation to join us for Full-day K! :)

Ms. Leavitt

Ms. Leavitt loves teaching kindergarten! She has a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Music Education from BYU, and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and Early Childhood Education from ASU. She has been teaching school since 2003, including classroom music (K-5), and regular classroom in grades K-1. She loves teaching music and has a music school in her home including a Music Preschool and Group Piano Classes. She loves writing songs and music curricula, and is the creator of the Sound Beginnings Curriculum owned by an international company called, Let's Play Music. And, most importantly, Ms. Leavitt is the mother of two amazing children.

Class Information

• Every week, we visit the library and have dance and P.E. Ms. Leavitt is the K music teacher and she teaches her own class music at least 15 minutes each day.

• LIBRARY BAGS: Each student has a blue or red library bag. In order to check out a new book from the Provost library each Tuesday, students must return the book and their library bag.

• HOMEWORK: The most important homework Ms. Leavitt's students can do is read and return their Take Home Books, and have their parents read other books to them every night. She would like you to make this a part of your daily routine, then spend the rest of your evenings and weekends having fun together! :)

• Fill out and hand in a READING LOG each week to participate in the Road to Success reading rewards program! Calendars must be handed in on Monday morning for minutes to be recorded in the library. This program has a lot of fun rewards for participants!!
